1976 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml

$249.99

about this wine:

Caymus Vineyards produces two Cabernets Sauvignons - a "Napa Valley" and "Special Selection". Both bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through "hang time" - a technique which chances loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to "hang" on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine's fruit zone, and waiting for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla.

About Winery

The Wagners took the name Caymus from the Mexican land grant known as Rancho Caymus, given to George Yount in 1836, which encompassed what eventually became the town of Rutherford and much of the surrounding area.

The Wagners produced their first vintage in 1972, consisting of 240 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then, Caymus has focused their efforts in the production of quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Caymus Vineyards remains 100% family-owned. Today's production is 65,000 cases. Farming grapes remains the priority with the family farming about 350 acres of Napa Valley.
